Sorry but this guy dancing reminds me of Elaine on Seinfeld dancing.
That's the way I danced when waiting for my sister to get out of the bathroom!
I got stopped by the cops for DUI. I did this dance for a field sopriety test. They took me to the hospital.
I have to say it. These guys won a talent contest in their home town, got to appear on national TV. No videotaping, LIVE!! Knocked it out of the ballpark, went home and were hometown/high school heroes, at 15 years old! Graduated school in 1964, went their own ways with great memories on the road of life. That took GUTS to do what they did at 15. I wish them well, even after all these years.
The lead singer was smoother than James Brown!! I was amazed..
Flannel..... birth of grundge
Man, hearing Ted Mack sounding a bit befuddled with what the youth were listening to back then kinda reminds me of my attitude with what the youth is listening to today.
Ralph DiForio (singer) is a 76 year old man in Palm beach now...:)...I bet he had quite the life......Good health to him.
I tried that dance at the club last year and was banned for life.
I've watched this something like 30 times, and I still keep coming back to it.
The singer of the Continentals is a real giant. The Continentals had deserved more recognition world wide.
He is not dancing, he Feel the music
That drum solo man, ahead of its time.
Incredible. The dancing, the drumming, the Fender guitars, the Pendleton shirts. How have I never seen this before?
That drum solo was wicked!!!
I remember seeing this on TV back in the day. I was 20yrs old at the time. It still sounds great!!! Thanks!!!
I wish that dance style would become popular again....I dig it!!!
All these kids would be in their mid 70's now, time flies. They had a great group, love the drummer and the singers dance moves.
Six Million views ! No doubt, that none of them at the time, could fathom or imagine, the popularity this performance would ultimately achieve ! Nice going fellas !
Damn--Love this sound and personality of these young guys. Moves are just too damn good, too. This is a powerful cool young American rock and roll group...
